Feeling apprehensive..SHOCK

I found out on Saturday that I am pregnant. I instinctively knew before the line appeared that I was. Extreme fatigue and queasyness.

I had two miscarriages before having my first baby (5 years old), my youngest is 18months (I still BF (breastfeed, or boyfriend) before bed). We agreed we wouldn’t have anymore.

Anyway my peroid only returned again 12 weeks or so ago. I am not 100% sure how far on I am. Possibly 5 weeks or maybe a few more.
I am experiencing nausea as though I have been out at sea in a storm ( Never really experienced it like this before), also diarrhoea every other day.

Although I suspected pregnancy before testing, this has come as a major shock. I don’t know how I will cope. I don’t think I can, I feel so guilty for feeling/thinking this way. Our childcare £ outgoings are already horrendous and I only work part time. I have not told my DH (dear husband) yet as he is working away and won’t be home until the weekend.

I don’t mean to upset or offend anyone, I just feel all over the place and haven’t confide in anyone yet. This should be wonderful news, an exciting time. Yet here I am not feeling it, though believe me I feel guilty. A problem shared..

Is a problem halved chick... there’s nothing anyone can say to make you feel any better and financial worry is a very valid worry to have but I think you should take this week while your husband is away to come to terms with things yourself and see how you feel and then obviously take it from there. Sending a big hug x

Thank you for your kind reassurance and advice Sookie. I used to feel envious of people who spoke of surprise pregnancies when TTC (trying to conceive) in the past, because we didn’t have an easy time getting there. Will definitely use the rest of the week to process it and relax. Hope all is good with you X
